Greed isn't going away. In purely socialist countries we just see the greed moved to the government where it is subject to far less checks and balances than in capitalism. For instance, see Cuba where there are a couple of really nice hospitals for the powerful in government, then some dirty hovels for everyone else. This is easily the biggest reason capitalistic countries are so much richer and better off than purely socialist ones.
